The Lorax: The Cause Of Global Warming

Seuss’s works, The Lorax and The Sneetches, both speak of important messages. In The Lorax the setting is a world where almost all of the planets trees had been chopped down. Where the protector of the trees, the Lorax, was created from the first Truffula tree being cut down. The character of the Lorax represents the voice and life force of the Truffula trees. He’s a static character, commanding, perspective, and relentless just like nature, yet falls at the hands of the greedy humans. The character of Ted represents change and the comprehension of human’s mistakes. Ted’s curiosity of the Truffula trees leads him on an adventure to finding out what happened to all of the trees only to realize the mistakes that humans made. He learns the importance of trees to the in their lives and learns that if no one cares nothing will ever get better in their polluted world. Overall the story speaks of mindless human consumption and environmental

Violent imagery characterizes the ruthless and cruel forest by describing how the forest has been eating itself to live forever. “...a choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps, sucking life out of death” (Kingsolver 5). The setting in this novel is defined by this quote. In order to survive, one must be willing to put their needs first, or else they will suffer the consequences. In this world, nothing is safe. The forest

Voice for the trees Lorax and logger Truax are considered heroes in their respective stories. Despite the two characters having such opposing views on the logging industry, they have many similarities when it comes to the delivery of their message. The Lorax shares a story of a persistent creature named Lorax who is frustrated with the Truffula trees being cut down by the evil Once-Ler. In the Truax a kind, gentle logger explains the countless benefits of logging to the grouchy Guardbark protector of the trees. This essay will compare and contrast the two stories.

The story begins with the Once-ler, informing the reader of the local natural history of the now world and how it was once home to the Lorax. The Onceler discloses to us that the Lorax can speak for the trees because tress have no tongues. The Once-ler has greedily taken advantage of this natural habitat, which was once home to the Truffula Tress. The Once-ler cruelly destroyed all the Truffula Trees to merchandise “thneeds”. Pollution is evident through the deformation and pursuit of economic gain of the Once-ler. All the creatures who

For the most part, though a childrenʻs story, The Lorax is an environmentalist message targeted to urge young readers who are in time, going to determine our future, to learn from the tragic results of the Oncelerʻs actions. In the beginning of the story, the Onceler discovers the trufffula trees and begins to cut them down carelessly to make clothing, which in turn provided him money to use for his own selfish reasons. In reaction to the Oncelerʻs cruel actions, the Lorax confronts and warns the Onceler that if he continues to pollute the environment and cutting down the resources and homes of the species that live in it there will be consequences. Not caring about anything or anyone but himself, the Onceler continues to cut down the trees and use them for his own benefits, which continues to cause damage to the land and the species

The logging Industry in the ‘Truax’ is saying that they are replenishing the trees that they are chopping down and they are helping animals, even if they hurt some animals. They are saying that they aren’t really hurting anything, they are actually helping. The original and ‘The Conservative Lorax’ are inaccurate because they say the the logging industry wants to destroy all of the trees even though, loggers are replanting them.

Loux utilizes a list of rhetorical questions in paragraph 3 in order to demonstrate the value of nature. For instance, Loux asked “ why do so many Americans say “they want their children to watch less TV

Global warming is hot topic nowadays. Alarmists and scientists fight to make their statements known, but while the alarmists avoid the scientist, non-governmental organizations pass themselves as scientist. They not only give out exaggerated data, they also have the nerve to accuse humans of being the cause of global warming. Also, we cannot be certain that we are being told the truth without knowing exactly what is really going on behind the scenes. We blindly trust those in authority because we think that they have our greater good in mind and that whatever they say must be the truth.

The Lorax as an environmental study, then we can connect the themes in the story to

Throughout his life Dr. Seuss became a well known child writer. He used various books to bring awareness to bring attention to different problems in the environment. One good example is The Lorax. It shows how one human finds something he can make out of trees, but does not conserve or preserve. He just uses as many trees as he wants because of how many there are. Eventually, it caught up to him. He ran out of trees and with this he ran out of money. Without trees, the town had to run on artificial air because the trees could not produce it. From this lesson, the public could learn as well. Although this book is intended for kids, mature audiences can find a lesson in it as well.

Suess, is known for being a children’s book with a political subtext. The issue that arises is the fact that the environment is being destroyed and mishandled by man kind. Suess makes the more educated reader know of the changes in the environment by beginning the text with imagery of a beautiful, nature filled area. Then Suess says that the place the lorax lives is being destroyed. Just like in society, the people claimed that chopping down one tree wouldn’t hurt, but soon chopping down one tree turned into chopping down multiple trees. Suess uses the lorax to represent the protector of nature and how nature is being

In the short animated film, The Lorax, a lot of symbolism and allusions to real world problems. The overall theme is how people could affect the environment around by using it to their own needs. Some of these affected indigenous animals are the Brown Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and Humming-Fish, they are forced to abandon their homes as more trees are cut down. This three animals symbolizes just how pollution affects the water, air, and land of regions.

Older readers focus often times on “the timeless message of ecological preservation,” an intense warning embedded in this classic book that is widely hailed as “the beginning of the environmentalist movement” in literature (Hahn 102). Through the extinction of the Truffula Trees which ultimately results in the utter destruction of the Lorax’s and other creatures’ habitats in the story, Dr. Seuss creates an easily understandable “allegory of our own declining ecological situation” (Hahn 103).

The Arctic region has been experiencing increasing warming throughout the last thirty years, which has led to the changes to lake and river systems, and the melting of permafrost. These changes and the continuing changes, caused by global warming have raised concerns about its effects on wildlife populations that rely on the northern lake ecosystems, such as loons. Loons rely on freshwater lakes for nesting their young, and the invertebrate and fish that live in the lakes use the habitat for food. This effect on Loons can be compared to other animals around the Arctic region, and how the warming is affecting them.

Blinded by burning desire, many seek any possible method to gain profit. For instance, in “The Lorax” the Truffula tree appears to provide humans with material necessary for creating thneeds—a revolutionary product able to fit multiple needs. Representing Earth’s diminishing natural resources, the Truffula tree was once abundant but now virtually gone, minus one
